the diagonal in a paralleogram is not equal but the diagonals in the rectangle are congruent
this is because the opposite sides of a parallelogram and rectangle are same parallel to each other but the adjacent sides of a parallelogram is not perpendicular where as the adjacent sides of rectangle is perpendicular to each other.
